When you have a burial using a casket and a concrete (I think it's coccrete) vault does that casket and vault slow down decomposition? If not what is the purpose, if any, of the casket and vault? Thanks

Hi- I am really hoping you can help me with this. I am a professional makeup artist (specializing in living people). However, my brother died suddenly this past Tuesday. The funeral director is having a hard time with his face because:livor mortis.

I heard of someone named Angel Medina who received a "special embalming treatment" so that he could be standing up when his corpse was displayed. Where could I find more specific details on his treatment? It's for a screenplay I'm working on.

I want to keep one of my mom's fingers when she dies. She says maybe hair would be better. I still want the finger. If my mom agreed....would I be able to get one of her fingers? How could I preserve it?

Why did my mother's face change to a little kids face after she died? She was 68 when she past, after passing her face was that of a 10 to 12 year old my siblings and I don't understand.

I know of a situation where a grave may be relocated after having been buried for three months. This also involves people who were not at the funeral. In a situation like that, would the body still be able to be viewed before reburial?
